Olivia Munn feels really bad for Rick Sanchez.

OK, maybe not but...

The Perfect Couples costar and Daily Show correspondent jokes that the now-former CNN anchor wouldn't be in such hot water if he had snuck in some zzz's.

"Poor guy just needed a nap," Munn says. "He got a little cranky. It was a couple of hours past his nap time. He's been traveling and had his regular bottle but they switched out the nipple. He didn't like the nipple that they had on there."

Munn knows about not getting much sleep. The gal sure does work a lot. She just signed on to join Jason Ritter as cohost of the Environmental Media Association Awards on Oct. 16.

"Before I go to the show, I'm going to make sure I recycle one soda can," she said. "I'm going to pull over, find a can that's been discarded by someone who doesn't care about the earth and recycle it."

She's half-kidding. "Don't let people make you feel bad because you can't do everything," she said. "It's the little things that you can do."

The 20th annual awards will include Jane Fonda presenting an award to ex-husband Ted Turner and Black Swan star Natalie Portman presenting one to Participant Media boss and philanthropist, Jeff Skoll.
